Let’s face it the roses conceded defeat to oasis in 1994. They ad not written anything decent since 1989 and oasis took over and it’s been like that ever since. For a while we deluded ourselves, and recently we thought they could surprise us with new material but it was just cash they wanted really and they left confirming defeat to oasis once again.

Creatively, Oasis surpassed the Roses in one area - prolificacy. But four albums of shite is still shite. Good Times is almost unlistenable but I'd rather stick that on than than the one dimensional sub-Kinks/Who/Beatles garbage that followed DM, simply because it's more interesting.

I quite like Liam's album. A bit pedestrian for sure, but there's some nice melodies and some good changes. Not the best thing in the world, but Paper Crown wipes the floor with either of The Roses' comeback singles.

Noel's single sounds like Wizzard covering the theme from Some Mothers Do Have 'em.

Paper crown is an anthem. Pisses in anything the stone roses did during their reunion lol

Actually most of as you were pisses on the roses reunion, it shouldn’t be that way and I can’t get my head around why it is but that is the situation. Ian Brown May think going solo will be the answer but there is no way, not a chance in hell that he will achieve anything by doing that. The stone roses could produce something magical but they won’t, they are underachievers and they don’t want it enough. Sad sad sad

Funny that just like in 94 when Oasis arrived on the scene and the Roses were heading in the opposite direction the same has happened again. The Roses seem to have not had enough balls to finish what they started and the Gallaghers are coming on strong again. Say what you like about them but the Gallaghers were never afraid to go for it.

The Gallagher are confident and have been more successful, hard to believe Liam was supporting for Heaton Park in 2012. Since then he had a decent album with Beady eye, and now an even better album with As you were. Never thought I’d see the day when Liam Gallagher was writing more (and better) songs than John squire or Ian Brown l!!! Should have known it though. Squires best seahorses tune was a throwaway tune written by LG....fact!

Maybe Liam could get John Squire and Ian brown to help write a few tunes, johns last effort with Liam “love me and leave me” was one of Johns best written songs in the last 20 years! I’m not sure he could do much better than those who helped LG out though, they deserve credit for their work as it is better than a lot of oasis songs too in my opinion!!!

How many songs did Ian Brown actually write on his own? He always gave credit to any others who helped write his tunes. To be fair to LG, he has co-written an album that is arguably better than any Ian Brown album including his “greatest” !!!
